As of December 2018, 90% of the equity was owned by Musk, with 6% held by SpaceX in return for the use of SpaceX resources during the startup of the company. The Boring Company was formed as a subsidiary of SpaceX, before separating in 2018. The Wall Street Journal described the lack of follow up from TBC as "ghosting American cities". Proposed projects in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Baltimore were ultimately scrapped due to escalating cost calculations by TBC and inactivity by TBC. Many other TBC projects have been announced and subsequently became inactive or were cancelled. Several United States cities, including those in California, Kentucky, Texas, and Florida have expressed interest in TBC creating tunnels to alleviate traffic concerns. TBC also completed one tunnel for testing in Los Angeles County, California. Residents and visitors may also take advantage of TBC’s completed transportation systems.

Tunnel passengers are chauffeured in Tesla Model-3 vehicles that are steered by a driver while the company pursues autonomous driving permits. The Las Vegas Loop will enable riders to take trips in 3 minutes, instead of the conventional 30 minutes during peak hours to select destinations in the city. The Las Vegas Loop is a 29 mile tunnel network whose construction was unanimously approved on Octoby Clark County Commissioners. The approximate travel times for the Resorts World Connector will vary between 1 to 4 minutes, contingent on the destination.
The Resorts World-LVCC Connector is in its final phase of construction and will provide a convenient and direct connection between Resorts World on the Las Vegas Strip and the multiple exhibition halls at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Currently, the LVCC operates for travel during conventions. It reduced a 45-minute cross-campus journey time to approximately two minutes. Notably, TBC completed the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop (LVCC), which is a three-station transportation system consisting of 1.7 miles of tunnels that was built in approximately one year. TBC has completed projects that are located in both Nevada and California. Its ongoing and proposed projects are designed for intra-city ("loop") transit systems, which are all-electric, zero-emissions, and high-speed underground public transportation systems that shuttle passengers to their destination without an intermediary stop.
